  • Croatian international goalkeeper Dominik Kotarski has joined Dinamo Zagreb and will wear the club’s No. 24 shirt.

Dominik Kotarski’s arrival at Dinamo Zagreb has brought attention not only to the club’s new goalkeeper, but also to the private life he shares with his wife, Bernarda.

The 26-year-old Croatian international will wear number 24 after joining Dinamo. He has also attracted public attention for his distinctive appearance and for arriving at a national-team gathering in a Mercedes G-Class valued at more than €200,000.

Kotarski and Bernarda began their relationship in their high-school years and married in June 2021. Their wedding, attended by about 100 guests, featured more than 5,000 peonies, according to media reports. Bernarda wore a long white dress, while Kotarski wore a gray suit.

The couple announced last October that they were expecting their first child, posting a black-and-white photograph showing baby shoes and Bernarda’s pregnancy. The child was born in April. The pair generally keeps their private life away from the public, although Kotarski has shared some family moments online while Bernarda keeps her Instagram account private.

Bernarda previously played basketball before leaving the sport to study economics and support Kotarski’s football career. Kotarski has described her as “not only my wife but also my best friend and sister, all in one.” He has also said he values her honesty and considers her his biggest critic after matches.

Not only my wife but also my best friend and sister, all in one.
